Then start saving/researching for a good sound system down the road.


Don't forget to adjust your clutch pedal/remove return spring if you're not happy with the mushy, vague feel and weird clutch biting point of your pedal.

Those mods are free.

Why put heavy speakers to make noise, when you can install a lighter and great sounding exhaust :). I never have my radio on anymore :).

Oh geez... how in the hell do I do that? Never mind, I'll youtube it. I was just getting used to it too.

Speakers don't necessarily have to be heavy to be of good quality. Some people dd their cars/sit in traffic for hours/enjoy listening to music as well as their vehicle

Well, do you think you need to improve your brake pedal feel? If you're only DDing your car with no plans of autocross or track days I don't think you'll benefit from it, or even notice its effects.

Final decision

Black interior plastics
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...ight=vent+trim

OFT
http://www.openflashtablet.com/products/OFT/index.html

Intake/Filter/Delete combo
http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/supe...lter-1346.html

DIY Clutch grab adjustment
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8040

With future plans for wheel spacers, clear side markers, sound system, and tires when I need em.

Sound good?

Instead of the intake I would get this:

As the other person said, it's a cleaner fix. Plugging a hole just sounds like a sloppy bandaid repair. It's probably entirely mental, I'm sure one is as good as the other, but I just don't like the idea of fixing a problem with my new car by stuffing a plug in a hole.

Get a Passport 9500ix and a mirror mount.

I ended up taking your advice. I put the K&N drop in filter in today, which I actually already had and was going to return, and picked up a plastic plug from Lowes. I read you need 7/8", but closest they had was 1". It seems to do the trick, it was a little snug but it fit.

Also ordered the plastics and OFT.

Ended up with
-Full set interior black plastics
-Arm rest
-K&N Drop in
-DIY soundtube delete
-OFT

Came out to about $735, so right about on budget and pretty decent bang for buck I think

^This if you frequent highways...I used to have a Valentine One in my Evo IX and loved it.
